In no particular order:

  • The CEO Spez decided to edit comments that were directed at insulting him to insult that subreddit's moderators instead (it was a Trump subreddit, but even so), with no indication that the comments had been edited.

  • Reddit's redesign, barely anyone who used the old design likes the new one. At least they kept the old one, but it's heavily de-emphasised and receives zero no features to intergrate better with new reddit.

  • Removal of exact Upvote/Downvote numbers like we have here, reducing it to only giving an overall "score". Later followed by obfuscation of the true value, supposedly due to bot vote manipulation.

  • The "jailbait" subreddit, which featured images of girls who looked close to being or actually underage, and some likely WERE underage, was allowed to exist for an extended peiod of time. Reddit also gave the guy that ran it "a gold-plated bobblehead doll “for making significant contributions to the site.”" reportedly.

  • Installed an interim CEO, Ellen Pao, who was there solely to take the blame for some controversial changes like banning some fairly popular if not great subreddits. It was later revealed that wasn't even her decision. Regardless, a similar protest also took place back then with the sole purpose of getting her out of the job.

  • Ellen Pao was also put under fire for supposedly firing Victoria Taylor, who is a very connected individual and was responsible for many of the site's celebrity/notable people AMAs (Ask Me Anything), including guiding them through the interface and what not so they could capably deliver said AMAs. She was actually fired by Alexis Ohanian, who is one of the founders of Reddit, has worked there on and off, and is currently Executive Chairman from what I can see.

  • That time Reddit as a community decided to hold a witchhunt over the Boston Marathon bombings and misidentified the culprit. Not really the admins fault technically, but it could perhaps have been prevented by them.

  • The rampant issues with bots, most of Reddit's top posts of the day and their initial comments are entirely reposted content by bots. Very little seems to be done to remove them.

  • Also the rampant issues with power users and power moderators. Why exactly can one individual be put in charge of hundreds of semi-popular/popular subreddits?

  • In addition to the site redesign, the implementation of things like a chat function on top of the DM function, NFTs, Reddit Premium, different rewards and tiers other than Gold (Reddit Silver used to be a joke for those who didn't want to do Gold), online statuses, avatars, coins, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting, were all generally unwanted. Most didn't cause that much of a controversy by their addition, but I don't know anybody who wouldn't be happier if they were gone.

Probably some other stuff I'm forgetting, but that's what I remember most.

I haven't watched the original series for most of the sequels this season, so my watchlist is as follows:

Plan to watch to Completion:

  • Ryza no Atelier: Tokoyami no Joou to Himitsu no Kakurega

  • Uchi no Kaisha no Chiisai Senpai no Hanashi

Plan to give 3 episodes:

  • Shiro Seijo to Kuro Bokushi

  • Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill de Saikyou desu

  • Liar Liar

Plan to give 1 episode:

  • Umarekawatta Ore wa Meikyuu wo Samayou

I'd like to give Mob Psycho 100 a try this season too. Also the Yuru Camp Movie, which I started but never completed as I got distracted. I've also had Log Horizon on my "Watching" section for a while now without actually watching it, so hopefully that as well.

I mean, the same was true with Reddit. The only difference here is that communities can have the exact same name so long as they're on a different instance.

Is this really a surprise to anyone? Github isn't exactly a piracy friendly site.

I think the issue with the Wii U was a combination of marketing issues and the name issue. To look at the Wii U's box, unless you're actually aware it's a new console, one may naively assume that the Wii U is actually just the gamepad, and a peripheral to the actual Wii. Like you have the Wiimote, Wiipad sounds a bit off, yeah Wii U sounds fine.

If they keep the Switch name, they need a strong indicator it's a sequel console, rather than something similar. "Switch 2" is the most obvious choice there, but not very in tune with their naming aesthetics. "New Switch" seems more Nintendo-esque but I'm not sure they'd go for it.

I think it would be wise to avoid the Switch name, but also emphasise that it's backwards compatible with the Switch in the marketing. It also depends on what gimmick they give the console, if it has the same gimmick as the Switch, calling it something like the Nintendo Swap might work? Maybe not the best, but neither was "Wii U".

"How about 10 tomorrow?" typically refers to the time, probably 10am in this case. However it can also be interpreted as "How about 10 coffees tomorrow?".

I also think there's an element of time spent with Reddit. For some of us who've been with the site for over a decade, this is the last straw with Reddit. For many others, its their first incident.

It's not. This community so far has a single mod, @vatlark.

To quote him from here:

I created this community because it was my favorite on Reddit and I couldn’t find one on Lemmy.

He is apparently holding a vote for new mods.

Same, I get that Anya is necessary for the "family" part, but damn do I wish this show was "Spy X Assassin" at times. Most Anya episodes had me thinking "Oh, it's another Anya episode, yay...".

If they announce a Switch U, having not learnt from the Wii U, I will be genuinely shocked. Do feel free to remind me if that occurs!
